My background is a bit different from most potters, and my work draws from my diverse yet formative experiences.

I was born in Asturias, a northern Spanish province filled with wild spaces. My work echoes the rough qualities found throughout Asturias’ rugged cliffs, plush vegetation and seaside beaches. With eddies of greens, blues and earthy browns, every piece is unique, even when part of a series.

My vision is to create beautiful, functional art for everyday use. Some rustic, others refined, but always a pleasure to hold and feel. All my creations are made by hand—some wheel thrown, others carefully hand built. I seek to embed each piece with both a sense of artistic creation and daily utility.

My work is inspired by the “Mingei” folk art movement. I offer hand-crafted pieces providing beauty and functionality from these everyday objects.
